Ok.

I'm lost now. Somebody, please, explain.

Does he value the honesty of the shopkeeper that much, that he then, instead of going to the competitors store, buys whole lot of the "wrong type" of peaches from the honest seller?

That, plus it's quite a subversion, as every single other Everett True comic ends with him absolutely pulverising someone because he pissed him off.

Maybe the intent is victim blaming: the people in the other strips wouldn't've been pulverised if they'd just been nicer people...
